Bacon Jam

[Caran]

As I have mentioned before I love this product. Placed an order for four jars the other day. It arrived today. Very scruffy parcel, enormous plastic bag bearing no relation to the company. Inside was a cardboard box. When I opened it three of the jars didn't have their tops on. Just resting loosely on the jar. Also two were upside down. There was a good deal of the product slopping about. I cleaned it all up then I had second thoughts about it.
I rang the company as I was worried whether it was safe to eat.
The person I spoke to was horrified. On no account to eat it. He would get his boss to phone me (nothing as yet) and they would arrange a fresh delivery. Such a shame really.

A good response from them at least, I wonder if they have out sourced their packing department?

[Caran]

Yes Mamya, he mentioned that the packing was not connected to the company.

I wouldn't have even thought twice about it. Definitely don't eat. I hope the company responds quickly...a reliable company will.

what do you eat it with?

[Caran]

On toast or cheese biscuits.
Sometimes have it for breakfast on toast.

[bednobs]

is it sweet or savoury?

Bacon jam .. never heard of it. Just had a look at a recipe and it sounds 'different', almost like chutney, may have a go at making it.
For the moment I think I will stick with the one I made yesterday from frozen fruit.. Strawberry and Raspberry jam 1kg of each and 1 kg of sugar.
Just about to run out of Chilli Jam, so that is another project for later in the week, so simple and it goes with anything !

Just printed out the recipe for your Bacon Jam.

Bought a jar of this from Waitrose a few years ago....the only time I've felt sick while eating something. If I think about it even now, I feel queasy. Don't think it was that popular...they didn't stock it for very long!

[Caran]

I have bought it from sainsburys before now.

[alavahalf]

Imagine it on a nice burger from the BBQ.. I must make some bacon jam, now I have seen this..

I wonder had it either been damaged or messed with in transit Caran?
That recipe looks like something is love to eat, though the rest here wouldn't & it would be wasted.
